Dammit. I was hoping that my post-Indulgence Day weight gain wouldn't bring me past 90 kgs again. Well, it did. Not that's it's THAT huge a concern, I just really liked the thought of staying below. I'm sure it'll be fine again tomorrow or Wednesday though.
Well, inspired by some of my buddies, and me feeling ashamed that I don't do enough exercise, I bought a stationary bike! I live in an apartment with old, creaky floors, so I can't put many types of exercise gear in here, they will all make a lot of noise and shake floors like crazy, but the bike is doing fine. It's a cheap model, but I figured that it would be good for both me, my wife and daughter. It's now sitting right in front of the TV, right in the surround sound sweet spot, so if I want to watch a movie, I gotta work for it! :) (at least for some of the time). So far, I've been on it both the days it's been sitting here, 45 minutes each time. I gotta say, I like the workout (as much as I'll ever like a workout, I think they were invented by Satan himself), and I'm okay with it. Wife will probably be doing it too.
There is a HUGE inconsistency between what Fatsecret and the bike says when it comes to calories burned. In 45 minutes, I burn about 200 calories according to the bike. FatSecret claims over 500. So what's the real number? I know that the bike doesn't take in all factors, but surely I don't burn 500 either. Hmmmm... Not sure. I think I'll just start going with the lower number and be glad that I actually exercise. :)
In other news: My daughter has now joined FatSecret. She will be my next guinea-pig to see if "my" system to lose weight is good for other people. She felt that she was getting a little too chunky, and wanted to do something about it. Seeing my success, and now her mother's success doing this, she wanted to give it a try. We're already doing the food that would fit it somewhat, so she just needs minor adjustments to get it working.
When I say "My" system, it's because I am trying to stream line the weight loss journey a little bit. I am trying to make a system, where "anyone" can lose some weight while still eating their favorite dishes and "normal food", do it without excluding themselves from real life, and without it being a hassle. I look back on my weight loss journey and it has been surprisingly easy. I'd like to share that with others.
Who knows, maybe it'll be a job some day. :)
Anyways, there is a long work day ahead of me today. Many people to talk to, but it's all gonna be exciting. Happy Monday, everyone!
Life is good!
